    Carne asada tacos
    Grace K.

    The food was good. The carne asada tacos did not disappoint. The pollo fries were good, but I probably get carne asada fries instead. The lemonade was refreshing. I would come back. I wish they had a salsa bar would have been better to add items to your tacos and variety of salsas.

    Carne Asada Fries!
    Lex S.

    Been here multiple times and have ordered the carne asada fries, burrito and torta. The food is great and service is excellent! They've been very consistent with both and prices is very fair and affordable. They also gave us some salsa and chips while waiting for our order so that's a plus! Definitely a go to when craving Mexican food! They're located in a plaza shared with Chinese food, Pana's Cafe & Yoshinoya. Parking is good, haven't had any issues.

    Amazing, friendly and helpful service... clean environment... playing the best jams (music) to be quietly rocking out to... then eating three perfect tacos and washing it down with a beer, I mean, how much better does it get?? I'll be coming back for sure! I ordered all tacos with flour tortilla: Taco Buchon, Vampiro Asada Harina, and grilled shrimp taco. Honestly each of them was so different and so flavorful - its really difficult to pick a favorite!

    The variety of menu items is extensive; the speciality tacos are really good , service is remotely fast , the street tacos could have been better .

    Grilled shrimp burrito with a large pepino agua Fresca everything was great and priced very well
    Ramses O.

    So I live down the street and have never tried this establishment and I gotta say I'm more than satisfied with my meal. I ordered a grilled shrimp burrito and a large pepino and it was under 20 bucks the burrito tasted great shrimp was tasty and veggies were fresh. I'm gonna go back and make sure I try more of the menu.

    Fish tacos
    Moni C.

    I had a really great experience here on a Tuesday afternoon. There is ample parking available as the restaurant shares a lot with other businesses. I ordered some fried fish tacos for dine in at the recommendation of the cashier. The staff were all really friendly and working hard to keep the place stocked and cleaned. They have a good sized menu with tasty looking drinks that I would like to go back and try. The tacos were delicious! The salsa tasted like fresh tomatillos. Note: It did seem like the interior was under some type of construction. Still good amount of indoor seating available. Chips and Salsa: A! So good.

    Pollo Burrito with red sauce and some sides of a refreshing chile and guacamole

    We ordered Tostada Buchon, Carne Asada Taco, Birria Quesadilla, Carne Asada and Pollo Burritos. I must say that everything we ordered was bursting with so much flavor. What's great about this place, too, is the generous serving for an affordable price. It's one of the best Mexican food we've had. The staff were all friendly. It has an A health rating. The restrooms are very clean. We'd definitely come back!

    Cucumber, radish and lemons served with tacos
    Dawn H.

    When I landed in Long Beach I knew I wanted some authentic tacos. After reading some reviews and noticing El Taco Buchon was less than 10 minutes from my hotel I knew j had to stop in. I was immediately greeted and placed my order at the counter. I ordered 2 chicken, 1 carne asada and 1 birria street taco. The food came out fast and was served with radish, cucumber and lemons. A grilled pepper, that I think was a jalapeño also came with the tacos. All of them were full of flavor but I think the carne was my favorite. I loved that I could choose how much of each topping to add to my tacos.

    Tostada Marlin
    Mich S.

    Definitely try the Tostada Marlin, excellent ranchero sauce and lots of tender shredded tuna! Super bonus that they give chips on the side with both fresh red and green salsas! Thank you for a great lunch @Michelle_merchant services

    2 Tacos Dorados Gobernador
    Lelah S.

    This was my first trying this place. Everyone looked really good online. The tacos were good but a little greasy. I had been somewhat clean eating and it kind of messed up my stomach sadly. But nevertheless it was tasty. They sell beer there, the staff was cool. I'd go back to try other items on the menu for sure.

    Birria Taco & Two Street Tacos ( Al Pastor & Asada)
    Nikki Y.

    This is definitely a hidden gem :) My friend recommend we go here for lunch. The food was on pointtt!!! Parking: There is a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. But, I can get busy during lunch time. Quality of Food: There were so many options. I ordered a birria taco and two street tacos (asada and al pastor). They were all so delicious. My friend ordered the shrimp tostada and birria tacos. Her go-to order is the birria tacos and the shrimp tostada. The food was fresh and very quick. If you're in the area I would make a stop here :) You won't be disappointed.

    For 12$ they didn't just serve me a Carne Asada Fries. They finely crafted a plate of cheesey perfection bigger than my face.

    Taco Gobernador
    Viviana H.

    It's no wonder why people come here for lunch all the time! During peak hours there's almost always a nice line of locals and workers on their lunch breaks. Food ordering is easy whether you did it there OR you can call ahead and pick it up (I've done both). The wait is never too long for the food as you are likely to get everything within 10-15 minutes at most. --FOOD-- - Carne Asada Fries - delicious when you get them right then and eat them right there -- (if you do take out, I must admit, they're not as good as fresh and they actually put the guac and salsa separate so it doesn't make your food soggy but it causes the flavors to not mix well by the time you eat them later) - Carne Asada Burrito - can't go wrong with carne asada and this is prob what you'd expect - Taco de tripas - tripas were over fried and dry :( - Taco Gobernador - I had higher expectations for this one but it was slabbed on with some creamy chipotle like salsa and it was just ok Aguas Frescas - SO DELICIOUS - but it's the sugar hahah, but my favorite is the Pepino - super refreshing and so worth getting the LARGE one to share or to keep drinking after your meal. They have usually 3 varieties or flavors to choose from. --SEATING-- - Outdoors you get 3-4 tables - it's covered patio for the most part but it can get hot in the summers sitting outside - Indoors - a good number of small tables for individual eating experience or easily put them together for a group experience RESTROOMS - on site, 2 separate ones. --PARKING-- A free shared lot with other establishments in the strip mall-like area

El Cremita is cheesy yet surprisingly light, never greasy. The chicken is soft and juicy, and the pops of pomegranate add a bright contrast that lifts every bite. Whiskil Taco is a dream for veggie lovers -- sweet, tender squash wrapped in a creamy, nutty sauce that feels both comforting and fresh at the same time. Mixta Taco stands out with its sausage and avocado combo -- rich, savory, and satisfyingly balanced. Taco de Chicharrón brings a fun textural contrast: crunchy, savory chicharrón paired with fresh, vibrant pico de gallo that keeps it lively. And the Pork Belly Cochinita Pibil? A showstopper. The generous slab of pork belly is smoky, buttery-tender, and practically melts into each bite -- deeply flavorful and indulgent in the best way. If you're looking to try a spread that hits creamy, crunchy, fresh, smoky, and sweet all in one sitting, this lineup absolutely delivers.

Their salsa is medium to spicy level for me; not meant for mild spicy eaters. Maybe I'm just too cheap and have access to alot more in East LA and such. We were expecting larger size tacos, not street taco size for their price. We found this place 6/2025 when a friend raved about their SD location and thought their cabeza and lengua were worth it. Then we noticed there is a location in East LA. I love both cabeza and lengua, but lengua being my favorite taco or burrito protein. I can see how people can love this place for its higher quality tacos. Overall, not for us unless I am really craving their corn tortilla and dine-in? Doesn't mean it's not worth trying, especially for those who like higher end/quality tacos. Staff took down our orders for dine-in. We got tacos: - $4.15 Birra Taco. - $4.15 Suadero (beef) Taco. - $6.15 Lengua Taco - $3.95 Vegetarian/Cactus Taco comes with beans too but I asked for no beans. Tacos comes with cucumber and limes. QR Code table scan for the menu. Staff will take your offer. There's a water station, and 2 restroom. Street and back lot parking. Staff is nice and willing to explain more. It seems like Tijuanazo tries to offer higher end/higher quality tacos like Evil Cooks (modern/fusion). Both of which I feel that burritos might be more worth getting? Completely different styles but apparently both priced way higher than local competitors.
